Review: Million Dollar Quartet at The Fabulous Fox Theatre

Million Dollar Quartet at the Fox Theatre transports you for 90 minutes to 1956, an era were genres like African American blues, jump blues, country, jazz, and gospel music fused to produce one of the most important music genres of all times, rock 'n' roll.

"Million Dollar Quartet" is the name given to recordings made on Tuesday December 4, 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The recordings were of an impromptu jam session among Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash".

The beauty about Million Dollar Quartet is that all the actors do their own singing and instrument playing. It feels like you are in a live rock 'n' roll concert were the crowd breaks out in frenzy, screaming, whistling and shouting. In a way, Million Dollar Quartet makes you feel nostalgic of the end of an illustrious era, filled with rebellion, harmony-filled songs, and musical supremacy. Million Dollar Quartet ishighly entertaining and gives you a chance to relive an historic moment in music history.
